Answer

2025-26: Defender A (percentile 92); in 2024-25, C (percentile 55). More tackles per 90 in 2024-25. The difference in 2025-26: wins more duels and is dribbled past less.

Context

Higher tackle volume does not automatically mean better defending. In 2025-26, Sepp van den Berg nearly halved tackle numbers but improved duel success to 65% while being dribbled past less often.
